Mechling, of Barnett township, aa a can didate for Assembly, auhject to the da cision of the Republican voters at the primaries, June 4th, 1910. We are authorised to announce W. J.

Siirwnrth. of JenKs township, as a candi date for Delegate to the Republican State Convention, subject to the decision of the Republican voters at the primaries, June 4, 1910. Don't be misled by any last minute atories. The opponents of Mr. Wheeler are getting desperate and are circulating all sorts of slanderous stories. They are "beaten to a frar.7,le." It is not the high cost of living, but the cost of high living that makes trouble for most people. The truth is that groceries of all kinds excepting meat products, are cheaper than they have been for years. Punxy Spirit. A machine for washing and Ironing paper money has been installed In the Treasury Department which It Is said will save the Government a million dol lars a year, as it will obviate the necessity of printing new notes so often. The ma chine costs about f 1,000, and it la predict ed that a money laundering machine will soon be a part of the equipment of all the large banks. Upon the first page of this paper will be found a record of the olticial acts of Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Sibley in Congress and the voters are urged to study It care fully and make a comparison between the two men. Mr. Wheeler's record shows that he has been with the people on every question, while on the other hand Mr. Sibley has defended the cor porationa on every occasion. These are official records and facts which cannot be denied. And now the question comes up to every voter and next Saturday be must decide aa to whom be wants to rep resent him for the next two years at Washington. Vote for Mr. Wheeler and rest assured that your every interest will be carefully and conscientiously defend ed. "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Smash the Roodlr-rs. Rotten I Is tbe only word that clearly expresses tbe methods employed to en compass tbe defeat of Congressman Nel son P. Wbeeler in tbe primary campaign tbat will close with this week. Not since tbe disgraceful Assembly campaign of 1900 has the wholesale pollution of voters been so boldly attempted as in tbe present instance. The opposition to Mr. Wheeler, seeing sure detest staring them in tbe face, are approaching desperation in their mad attempt to stem the tide of righteous sentiment that favors the re-election of as clean, pure and incorruptible a man as ever sat in the halls of tbe American Con gress. The corruption funds for Forest county have been placed in the bands of three or four men, it is said, whose des picable characters are well known to all in tbe community, and whose disregard for decency, and whose willingness to do any dirty work for a price, makes them particularly valuable for this purpose. One of these It Is further said, delivered the boodle to a choice squad of roosters In a certain township last week, and they in ' turn are expected to "delivei" the votes in tbat township. In another portion of the county one man Bhowed a ten dollar bill which be received through the mail in an envelope which contained no other missive of auy kind. This is going it pretty strong for a single vole, and shows plainly tbe desperation to which tbe few opponents ol Mr. Wheeler are driven. It is claimed tbat a list has been made ol those in the county who are considered low enough to sell their voles, and each is to be given what Is thought will buy him. What do you think of thatT Tbe time is coming, and that speedily, when the man who attempts to bribe a voter will be deprived of the dearest rights of an American citizen, tbat of exercising tbe right of franchise, and the boodler In politics will be looked upon as tbe foulest of outcasts, a stench in the nostrils of de cent people, and tbe way to hasten this happy outcome and rid our fair little county of these miserable pollutionitita is to put the brand of the briber upon them by voting to retain honest men in Con gress, as against the corporation con trolled lackeys that have no interests to serve beyond those of the trusts who own them body and soul. Vote your con vie lions, men. Nelson P. Wbeeler will be nominated next Saturday. And the most of us will be living here amongst our people when the gang which is opposing him will be but a miserable memory. Do you waut to bave the esteem and respect of your neighbors and fellow citizens, and do you want to retain your own self respect. Mr. VoterT If you do, then smash the contemptible skunk who offers you money tor your vote, and be a man among men, not a cur among dogs. The Mercer Dispatch, one of tbat county's leading newspapers, changed hands last week, when Messrs. D. L. and Dunham Barton purchased tbe plant from the B. J. Haywood estate. Mr. Burton and bis son bave bad charge of the paper lor many years, and while the ownership has changed, the policies aud principles will remain unchanged, so tbat ihe Dispatch may be expected tocontinue is one of tbe most popular weeklies of the county. Congratulations. Another Strong Testimonial as to Con gressman Wheelers Work for the Oil Men. The subsidized organs of Mr. Sibley in Venango county are still harping way on bis faked-up charge that Mr. Wheeler did not work for the Interests or the oil men while the tariff bill was up for consideration, hoping that by constant reiteration they might make few peo ple belieye what they know to be a false statement. We have reserved to the last the strongest denial of the charge, a letter which Mr. Wheeler recently received Irutu Representative Gustav Kustermann, of Wisconsin, who fought Mr. Wbeeler tooth and nail in bis fight to put crude petroleum and Its products on the free list.

Mr Dkak Friend; -Being greatly In need of some cattle books, my quota be ing greatly depleted, I take the liberty to inquire whether you would let me have a dozen of these books In exchange for some others, perhaps of greater value to you Id your district. You may think It strange that I ask you this or any other favor, when less than a year ago we fought each other so persistently on the floor of the House. I refer to the period when I made my fight for the repeal of the countet vailing duty on oil, and you, undoubtedly siu cere in your belief that your district wou'd be benefited by the retention of the duty, took the opposite side of the question. On account of the bitter feeling that ex isted against the Standard Oil Company you could not and did not wlu out, but I will state truthfully that you and Dr. Woody ard fought nobly and did not leave anything undoue, to tbwart my efforts in the opposite direction. For a considerable period after my tight was won, It seemed to me, as if in tbe beat of the battle, our former friend ship bad become somewhat marred, but I sincerely bope tbat the axe will now be buried and remain so. even though true to our convictions, we are again forced to take opposite sides on some public ques tion. Yours sincerely, (Signed) Gustav Kcstkrmann. Majburg. John Anderson returned to town Sat urday, after a couple months' absence. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

The Austrian shopkeeper takes great prlil In having his window dressed In nil attractive milliner und (he glass perfectly clean at nil times, no matter low small I lie shop or how small the city. Frequently the (.''"eater part of the stock of merchandise Is displayed In the windows of the smaller shops. It is much less dlllitult to make at tractive displays than lu American stores, its windows open outward on hinges. Even heavy plate glass win dows ten lo fifteen feet square are so n mi lined and dressed from the street instead of from the inside, as in Amer ica. The large windows are usually aiTanged in the morning before many pedestrians are on the street. The wall space between shops is frequently rented by owners of adjoining stores and arranged to nppear like windows, giving the appearance of being a large 8 hop. When one wishes to examine nil article displayed In a window the proprietor or clerk goes lo the street Willi a key, unlocks ihe window and takes out the article, then locks his window again. Wigs and Trousers. The wig went out and gave place to the natural hair, towered nnd pig tailed, as a result of the movement back to nature which accompanied and preceded the French revolution. But why did the wig come in? Some say that Louis XIII. started the fashion when he began to grow bald, the court Imitating him out of a desire to please the monarch. Be that as It may, the wig "caught on" as few articles of costume have ever done, and those who have begun to despair of the mascu line leg ever being emancipated from the trouser may 11 ml comfort In the fact that wigs prevailed for consid erably more than a century in Eng land, whereas trousers ecarcely existed a hundred years ago, to say nothing of being the universal wear.

Tho expression ' ritcpplnt; Into niv other' ii bIiocs," lltio linuiy uuotboi' com inou phrase, hud lu Oillu lu uu au clout etiBtom. The old Norse law required that a person to bo adopted must step luto a previously prepared shoe. This shoo was u'tu'.e from the sklu taken from tha right lilud leg of a "three-wluters-old bull." Tho skin was Hayed from above the hock, and out of this the shoe was made. The person to bo adopted stfp ped Into this shoe, taking luto his arms one at a time. It Is presumed, tho younger sons of the man making the adoption. If there were also sons who were of age they stepped Into the shoo afterward. I'.v this sign showing their consent to the adoption. A man lu this way could adopt an illegitimate son, making him his law ful heir, but In that case the father was obliged to step Into the shoe tlrst. If there were any full grown sons, Ihey stepped Into the shoe afterward; If there were no full grown sons, then the next of kin did the stepping, and without his consent, by the way, this Biw.'lal adoption could not be made. Witnesses to the ceremony lu the use of the shoe were required to es tablish its legality. It will be seen that this was con sidered an Important ceremony, and since so much "shoe stepping" was done It Is not strange that the expres sion n.s now used passed Into common speech.

Au ostrich fight Is amusing. Inasmuch as it amounts practically to a boxing match with the feet, wherein the combatants lightly dance around each other. There Is. however, this difference If any human boxer could hit as hard with his hands its cau nn ostrich with its feet the championship would be decided by u single blow, lu sparring the ostrich stands on one foot, with the other foot nnd the wings raised, the bill wide open and the neck dis tended. He strikes with the force of a trip ha miner. Sometimes ou au ostrich, farm a keeper wil, become involved In such a mixiip. In which event it Is not infre quently the case that the human emerges from the scrap with a broken leg, arm or head. Under modern training an ostrich equals a horse lu power and Indeed can perforin many of the "stuuts" whereof his equine colleague Is capa ble, lu one respect, however, he ex cels the horse, for by the aid of Its wings the ostrich can leave behind the swiftest running thoroughbred. In harness an ostrich has. at Hot Springs, Ark., paced In about a horse's time. Harper's Weekly. His Unlucky Day.

Lon don Chronicle. His Second Thought. A politician named Blank got a place for a clerk during one of the sessions of the legislature of his state. Tho clerk was very grateful, says the Sat urday Evening Post. At the end of the session lie came around to Blank and said: ".Mr. Blank, 1 want to tell you how much I am indebted to you for your kindness In getting me the place I have had. It meant more to me, Mr. Blank, than you may think. 1 thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also I want to say, Mr. Blank, that If there ever conies a time when I can do anything for you anything at all you are to command me. 1 will do anything you may ask me to do. 1 am at your service." Blank thanked the mail, and he started to go. As he reached the door he turned and said, "Of course, Mr. Blank, I would prefer that It should bo something honorable." Could Fill the Bill.
